I know nothing about the berrys .... I upgraded to a samsung S3 about a year ago and find it great . I considered the S4 , but after reading all the reports and reviews, it seems the only real difference of note is a bigger camera.
I would recommend the S3 , an awesome piece of kit, and will more than likely be the last phone i buy.

I rely on two empty baked-bean tins and a long length of string for remote audio communication!.... smile.gif ...!

Otherwise, its just a good-old Land Line telephone, involving very long lengths of copper wire... biggrin.gif ...!

I've got one of those new-fangled, (£25) mobile phone thingies, but its always switched off, and only carried for the purpose of contacting the break-down service for my Motorcycle.

Its amazing how peaceful and stress-free, life can be, without an object forever vibrating in ones trouser pocket......

...including a mobile phone!... blink.gif ....!

Paul....ZZZZzzzz..... laugh.gif ....!

Cheers mate, need a mobile for work and other important needs. such as contacting other people's mobiles. Since in some places they charge you a hefty fee for using a lan to contact a mobile. What type of bike have you got, (harley, Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, Bmw.)

The alternative is a long length of garden hose-pipe with a funnel plugged into each end...and a pea-whistle to attract attention...

So many alternatives to a Mobile Phone... biggrin.gif ...!

Paul... cool.gif ...!

I agree with dash8captain, Blackberrys are one of the most secure phones in the world, although my brother owns a S3, and I have an iPad, This can be quite confusing whether which phone fits best for him. unsure.gif
